It looks like Mike Sona (the Conservative staffer who resigned last week) is denying his involvement with the Robocall scandal.

Quote:
“I wish to address the allegations and accusations levelled against me in the media over the last six days. I have remained silent to this point with the hope that the real guilty party would be apprehended. The rumours continue to swirl, and media are now involving my family, so I feel that it is imperative that I respond.
I had no involvement in the fraudulent phone calls, which also targeted our supporters as can be attested to by our local campaign team and phone records. On Thursday, I offered my resignation to my employer. The role of a staffer is to assist their employer in their responsibilities, and that was impossible to accomplish with the media continually repeating these rumours. It is for that reason and that reason alone that I resigned from my position.”

Couple of things that make this a rather odd admission.
1) He resigned last week really before the story broke. So it's odd that he would resign for something he didn't do, well before the real media frenzy kicked in.
2) It makes Peter MacKay's comments from earlier this week very odd.

“ they’ve identified the individual that was involved in this,” Mr. MacKay told CBC News, without specifically referring to Mr. Sona. “That individual is no longer in the employment of the party.”

Seams to be a lot of smoke building up around this issue.
